Thank you so much for this content.... there's so much missing on RUclips about M10 Engines and this will help many in the near future, just a quick question though- what causes the M10 engine to struggle to start up because when when I crank my car it cranks for a very long time and when it finally fires up the minute I let go off the ignition key and accelerator it starts slowly dying out. and not to mention that the spark is very low
Thanks for the comment. Yes, there is not much information for the M10. That is why I am trying to fill the void. As far as the issue you are having there are many items which could cause this issue. Could be something as simple as a hose being loose creating a vacuum leak to a bad fuel pump. You do not state if your M10 is Fuel injected or Carbureted. Start simple, sometimes the forums have good information.
Great video I have an e12 with an M10 engine though the distributor is different from that one the rotation is different...so wat it is that wen I crank it feels like will pick up but nop later will just be cranking I know it's the firing order kindly help with the correct order of firing
How much play should the distributor shaft have? My m10 distributor keeps stripping out the distributor rotor for some reason and I am unsure if I need to replace the whole distributor.
Hello, there is some play, but not excessive. I am on the road this week, but next week I can make a video showing the distributor. I have a new one in my garage. Maybe that could clear it up for you.
Hello, on what type of vehicle is the M10 in? On our 1985 318i E30 the o2 sensor wire is next to the distributor. It is only a small plug. Our 1984 E30 does not have an o2 sensor.
Thanks my brother

Hello David, the correct firing order is 1-3-4-2. Hope that helps
